I can’t really explain why, other than I really like a good deal and I’m a bit of a snoop.

Rummaging through other’s peoples garage sale items – those old rollers skates, that cat print sweatshirt, a ThighMaster caked in dust – is a bit like being a detective sifting through evidence.

East Mills’ Logan Currin threw for a career-high 289 yards and four touchdowns while the Wolverine defense held Riverside to just 30 yards rushing in a 41-7, Class A District 9 football victory Friday.

“We knew this would be a physical, athletic team and kids wanted to come out and make sure we made a statement early,” said East Mills coach Andy Irwin.

TABOR – It was a happy homecoming for Fremont-Mills Friday night as the Knights rolled to a hard-fought 45-34 victory over CAM.

Quarterback Jason Rusten passed for three touchdowns and ran for another as the Knights improved their record to 2-1.

“What we say at the foundation is that we’re not about 9/11, we’re about 9/12,” Carolyn said. “We’re really about the compassion the rest of the country showed to New York after 9/11.”
